Memcached for Ubuntu
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Identity service authentication mechanism for services uses Memcached
to cache tokens. The memcached service typically runs on the controller
node. For production deployments, we recommend enabling a combination of
firewalling, authentication, and encryption to secure it.
Install and configure components
--------------------------------
#. Install the packages:
.. code-block:: console
# apt install memcached python-memcache
.. end
2. Edit the ``/etc/memcached.conf`` file and configure the
service to use the management IP address of the controller node.
This is to enable access by other nodes via the management network:
.. code-block:: none
-l 10.0.0.11
.. end
.. note::
Change the existing line that had ``-l 127.0.0.1``.
Finalize installation
---------------------
* Restart the Memcached service:
.. code-block:: console
# service memcached restart
.. end
